Wagner went on to make the drama-filled statement: “California’s marijuana industry supplies the nation.” However, the federal attorney failed to note that California has always been the marijuana supplier to the nation – in the context of black market sales – despite his implication that it’s only been the last 15 years (since medical cannabis was legalized) that the Emerald Triangle and other regions of the Golden State have been major epicenters for interstate pot distribution across the U.S. Wagner also ignored the fact that patients now have access to medicine previously denied to them due to the very same medi-pot industry he castigated as one-dimensional.
